valid point. Here's a valid answer. You're into mma somewhat - do you remember the fight between gerrard gordeau and yuki nakai? gordeau was knuckle deep in nakai's eye, and nakai STILL beat him. Not only that, but he beat his next opponent as well. Where was the advantage?

I would call 911 and take out my gun.
The law states that assault is illegal, and if I defended my self I TOO would be taken to Jail.
Plus...Liddel would kick my Butt. He is a highly trained UFC Champion, in his prime
while I am a TMA with some Western Boxing experience and Hung-gar training.
That is my intellect speaking................................on the other hand
IF MY PRIDE got ahold of me...I would fight him with all my strength and knowledge, and go 100% ...Id would still get my ass kicked, but at least I would have given it my best.
I personally think that the guy who eventually will beat Liddel is the fighter who can get him to the ground and choke him out.
We havn't SEEN that fighter yet...but he is out there. If not..LIDDEL will eventually get old and will lose to a younger , faster, hungrier fighter.

1) Everything you think you can do to the other guy he can do to you too... that includes digging his fingers into your eyes when he has you down, dropping a forearm on the base of your neck..... it is a two way street. Doesn't mean you can't go test how you compare with them under the same rules.
2) Sports have rules and rules are broken all the time. If you think you can evade competition quality striking and sink some dangerous move... go do it, get penalized a point and then win by KO in the next round? It's no different than guys covering their opponants mouth while in side control. They get warned, they move on.
3) If you don't like "sport" create your own event. I have stopped posting Throwdowns here because no Kung Fu guys show up to play. One guy from the forum showed up once to watch.
4) Cut the ****! You're not fooling anyone. Fighters know why non-fighters don't fight... we know why trained martial artists don't fight..... they're not fighters. We know you can kick and punch but we know we can do it better, meaner, with more intention. We know we'll kick your ass which is why we are eager to show up. Which is why we do show up. Likewise, nonfighters know they'll get their ass kicked. This is why they don't show up.
I admit I won't go surf 25 foot Pipeline. Not because I'm a free surfer. And not because I'm not skilled enough.... I'm scared and don't want to get really hurt or killed. I wouldn't want to fight Chuck Lidell for the hell of it for the same reason. Throw me a few grand and I'll do my best until he drops me
Be real with yourself! Because you're not fooling anyone else, just sounding like a tool.
Greetings..
I just watched a match between a TCMA "expert" and an experienced NHB fighter.. the evidence was convincing.. fighters train because it IS real, TCMA trains "as if" it were real.. a major difference of "intention".. the fighter has experience that he knows, experience that inspires him to not hold back, to move with clarity and intention.. most (not all) TCMA players uphold a certain code of "martial ethics", which i agree with, but.. one must know the difference between fighting and agreeing to appear to fight.. the difference is huge, i've done both.. Just keeping it real..
Be Well..

I was watching a 2 year Old K1 Fight on ESPN last week,,and saw two fight by a welterweight named Kung -Lee.
He looked like he would make a good Octagon Fighter with the right training.
Anyone hear of him or know how he has progressed opver the lat 2 years.?

Cung Le is a great fighter. Check out these videos of him fighting in MMA.
